In the best tradition of suggesting what you have - Skoda Superb. Though AutoExpress agree with me.

Genuine question… Why? Do you think what they did has negatively affected you somehow and you feel like you needed compensating or is it just a chance to get some free money?
Bit of both. Being frank, free money is a bonus. But - I also dislike the blatant disregard for any sort of legislation and continuing when they know what they are doing is damaging to people's health and the environment. At the end of the day they lied for financial gain. I'm not stupid to think they are the only company that do this (in fact I have a friend who used to work for Triumph and found a similar thing while testing a BMW bike) but they have been caught and should be punished.
Has it negatively affected me? Well, actually, it has. We moved from somewhere where quick A roads and dual-carriageways were the norm to somewhere where we're lucky to get 10 mins of driving without a stop, let alone 20 mins above 2k revs. Consequently the combination of having a DPF that likes to clog and an EGR valve that's suffering from software changes to make-up for VAG's lying means our car arguably isn't fit for purpose (which is a shame as I actually quite like it).
All of those compensation claims boil my piss. Surely as you were driving a more polluting car you should be coughing up for the extra “car tax” you’ve avoided courtesy of the company’s tricks.
OK...

They are good. Not too many petrols around at the mo tho. Well, not too many cars in general. 🙂
